Frequently asked questions

What share of .media domains are effectively unprotected?

79.8% of the 103,601 graded .media domains score an F, meaning core protections like enforced DMARC are missing and the domain can typically be email-spoofed. As of 2026-08-16.

Does this cover every Media business?

No. It covers the businesses that chose the .media ending. Most Media firms sit on a generic ending like .com and are not captured here — treat this as a sector-flavoured sample, not a census of the whole industry.
